HIV Risk at dental clinic

Question

Asked for Male, 26 Years

I went to Dental Clinic for some dental treatment in this treatment I saw that assistant who was assisting the dentist had not changed his hand gloves and some blood was there in his gloves and he was touching my mouth and also instruments to help dentist. Though I was first patient in her clinic it is sure that the blood stain which was on his gloves was not mine because my treatment was normal one and there was no blood involved in my treatment. Is there any risk of getting HIV?
